Donald Trump business mogul turned political candidate is well known for his off the wall and often offensive quotes; here are some of his most mind boggling quotes from over the years.

A recording of Donald Trump emerged during his campaign of him boasting back in 2005 “I’m automatically attracted to beautiful — I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything.” He then went on to say “Grab ’em by the pussy. You can do anything.”

Eric Cantor, a former Republican House Majority Leader, said: “Unfortunately I do think that if there were to be a Trump administration the casualty would likely be trade.

Ms Piegza said Mr Trump is making "bold assumptions" about deportations, arguing: "He’s saying if you remove 11million people from the labour force that's suddenly 11m jobs for Americans.

"But you have to assume Americans would be willing to take those jobs.”

A Trump administration would be a “disaster,” according to Beth Brooke-Marciniak, global vice chair of public policy at Ernst & Young.

The former adviser to the US Treasury in the Clinton administration said: “The globe needs the US to be strong. The US is still the horse that’s pulling the cart, and more so now with the capital outflows from emerging markets.”

However other economic experts are ruling out the possibility of Trump being elected this year.

Martin Sorrell, chief executive at advertising and public relations company WPP, said: “I am amazed at Davos about how many people are taking Trump as seriously as they are.

“I think it doesn’t matter who the Republicans put up, I think Hillary will win.”

Niall Ferguson of Harvard University said: “If you bother to read some of the serious analysis of Trump’s support, you realise that it’s a very fragile thing and highly unlikely to deliver what he needs in the crucial first phase of the primaries.
